DVD Cover Analysis - Jaws II

The DVD cover for Jaws II is a very eye catching cover. I feel that this cover is eyecatching as when you look at it the picture in the middle stands out. From looking at the cover I feel that the people who designed the cover used a dark colour like a dark blue to be the background colour so that they could put a light colour on top and make it stand out and catch the eye of the viewers.

Also another thing which is very eye catching in this poster is that with the nice blue and the white as the main colours used the Font "JAWS 2" is written in red and is in a very large font, i infer from this that the designer of the film poster wanted the title so stand out as well.

The colour red which is used for the title stands out off the page and I feel that it represents danger as the colour of blood is red and also the picture which is on the cover of the DVD is a shark who has its jaws open behind a young girl.

The title has a small submessage above it which reads "Just when you thought it was sage to get back into the water" This submessage is placed above the title which is a good place as when the Red catches the audiences eye they will want to read what is written above it as well.

The way the picture has been created for the DVD Cover creates the look of a scary film as when you observe closely you can see that the shark is much larger than the girl and it looks as if the girls head is going into the mouth of the shark.

Lastly at the bottom of the picture there are the names of the actors. The names are the same size, font and are the names of the three main actors in the film.
